Ahead Drumsticks offers an wonderful alternative to wood sticks. With a Built-in Vibration Reduction System (VRS) to reduce hand fatigue and a precision alloy core to guarantee balance, the Ahead sticks will allow you to play longer and faster.

These sticks are awesome for heavy hitters like myself. There great for sensitive playing too.Some of the greatest drummers use these AHEAD sticks. Drumers like Lars Ulrich from Metallica, Phil Rudd from AC/DC, and Tommy Lee from Motley Crue. All in all, they are very clean and versitile.

"I know the concept of an aluminum stick can be a little shady at first glance, will it be to hard on my cymbals? Will I have to replace them at high cost as often as my ussual wooden stick? The answer is no in both cases. Infact ive found that my cymbals show less visible markage from the Ahead sticks and the over all cost of buying replacement covers is less than half of what i normally spend on wooden sticks. The added elements of replacable and interchangable tips is extrodinary, and the grip tape which is more of a faux leather wrap makes for and incredibly comfortable drumming experience. On top of it all it makes the Zildjian antivibe sticks feel like handheld earthquakes. The ultra durable nylon tips havent shown a single sign of wear and ive been playing them for three months. All in all the Ahead 5B stick has become my stick of choice and i would recomend it to any and all drummers, I may also add that i will never go back to a wooden stick again."
